Brendan was great. He walked Rusty without any issues, and Rusty came back really tired. I’d definitely book with Brendan again.

Daniel took great care of Rue! She had such a good work out with every walk and made a new dog friend. Communication was consistent and detailed. Made a worried dog mom like myself, feel a lot better! Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Wyatt obviously is very good with interacting with dogs in a way that is unique and very valuable. Cooper's walks with Wyatt have been great and I get Cooper back appearing quite mentally stimulated! I def recommend him to look after anyone's pup. 👌🏻

About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Derick! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have been actively helping care for pets through our family’s pet care business. I assist with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in our home. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide individualized care. Because there is almost always someone home, dogs receive plenty of supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing fetch, and helping pets feel relaxed and at home while their families are away. My goal is simple: to treat every dog like they’re part of the family and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. One thing that makes our home special is that someone is almost always home. I’m home full-time this summer, both of my parents are retired, and even my youngest sibling is 15 and home for the summer. Whether it’s me or one of my family members, your pup will always have company, love, and attentive care. 🏠🐾❤️ Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Someone is always home, whether it’s me or one of my family members, so your pup will never be left unattended. We constantly supervise the dogs during playtime, potty breaks, meals, and rest time. Our yard is fully fenced, giving them a safe and secure space to enjoy while still being closely watched. :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since a young age, and it’s truly my passion. I have hands-on experience administering medications (both pills and syrups), treating minor wounds, and providing attentive care for puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I stay informed about pet health and well-being, and I can also prepare home-cooked meals tailored to their needs. What makes me different is the genuine love and dedication I bring to every pet—I understand they are family. At home, I’ve cared for multiple dogs over the years and currently live with a sweet 3-year-old cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection as my own. I’m currently working part time so I have off days to dedicate to take care of your lifelong companion with love patience but also responsibility I have a 3 year old cat whom gives me companion and I also take her out for walks every day, back in home she has all the things she needs

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 9 years, so I understand how much love and attention pets need. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family members multiple times, and they’ve told me how impressed they were with the care and attention I gave their dog. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Right now I have an open schedule, which means I can be flexible and available to care for your pets whenever you need. Your pet’s routine is my priority. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable, whether I’m in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine, keep their space clean, and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. Pets are never left unsupervised for long, and I treat them with the same care I give my own dog.

About: I am a loving and caring dog person who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and they always seem to feel comfortable and happy around me. I welcome every new dog with patience, kindness, and a calm presence. I have three dogs of my own, and caring for them has taught me how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I make time to play with them, keep them active, and make sure they feel safe and loved. I enjoy long walks and I can keep up with dogs who walk fast. It is great exercise for both of us and a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors. I recently moved into a new apartment and started a new job, and I hope that dog walking will help me earn a little extra while doing something I truly enjoy. I miss my dogs when I am away from them, so meeting new dogs or walking the same dog each week sounds like a lot of fun to me. Your dog will always be treated with care, attention, and respect. I look forward to spending time with your pup and making each walk a positive and happy experience. Pet care is part of my daily routine: feeding, walking, and playing with pets morning and evening, plus taking them to dog parks in the mornings when the weather is nice I care for pets by feeding, walking, playing with them daily, and ensuring they’re comfortable and safe at home or my client’s home. I also make sure to watch them and never leave them unattended

About: In 2012 I got my little Yorkie Paisley from a place called Puppy Town. Over the years me and Paisley has grown close and she has become my best friend. Within a few days, I had housebroken her, at first she didn’t know how to walk on a leash, but was practice and patience, she became a master of walking on a leash to the point that she enjoys walking. Although Paisley does not enjoy baths, I do give baths and it brings me joy to see her fresh and clean I have to brush her every day to maintain that beautiful golden coat. I’m afraid to clip her nails so I will take her to Banfield hospital to get her nails clipped. Over the years Paisley became older, and her eye sight has declined, so every morning I have to take the time to take her to her food. She knows where the bathroom is at, but sometimes she’ll have accidents and I have to be patient with her and I have to clean up her accidents and I have to keep an eye on her at all times to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. Her food and water is still in the same place however, I had to rearrange some furniture and things to make it easier for her to get around… Every summer, I will purchase flea and tick protection, cause I can’t have no pests bothering my baby! Paisley is my best friend and even though she can’t see me anymore, she can sense when I’m there and still wants to cuddle up under me. I’m a landscape photographer, so I do do work in the golden hours however, I’ll be available to watch your best friend Monday through Friday in the early mornings 6am -5pm and also I can watch your furry friend in the evenings 7pm - 12am Weekends 6am - 5pm. Was Paisley I get up sometimes she sleeps but if she is up, she will automatically go to the bathroom when she’s done in the bathroom. I will take her to her bowls. I will feed her while she’s eating. I will clean up what it’s called a wee wee pad I live in an apartment and my room is pet friendly so your fur baby will have toys and also they will have water as well, in the kitchen is where I have their food so they will have access to food and water in the kitchen. Also, I live by a local park so your fur baby will never have to worry about being bored because I will take on walks to the park. Your fur baby will never be bored with me. We will go to the park, play with toys ,and I believe fur babies should always be indoors with a watchful eye.

My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Gardena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Gardena on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 21,231 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gardena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gardena. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Gardena.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gardena. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
